The Commission reports that the law does not require than one exit to a metalliferous mine, but anyhow there were passes extending in -"arious directions to all levels whereby the men could have been rescued [in the event of the collapse of the main shaft, or in the event of almost any occurrence except the generation of deadly fumes. Regarding the removing of the men on the shift, the bosses did everything humanly possible in the circumstances. The fdessons of the disaster should be in legislation.
